Obroa-skai Walkers

Ben and Cole move through the Star Wars Legends timeline as they see fit! There's assigned reading each week, and every episode covers that week's reading. Simple, right? There are plenty of Star Wars-related tangents along the way, so make sure to listen even if you haven't read!

OSW Interlude #24 - Wanna See Me Do It Again? 04/14/2023

OSW Interlude #24 - Wanna See Me Do It Again? This might be the biggest Star Wars podcast ever recorded. That's probably hyperbole, but I don't even care because it certainly felt that way. We cover not one but TWO episodes of THE MANDALORIAN leading up to the season finale and of course everything that dropped at STAR WARS CELEBRATION. Excitement ensues!

Order 66 Chapters 15-20 - Wam Sitwer 03/02/2023

Order 66 Chapters 15-20 - Wam Sitwer Happy Mandalorian Season 3 day everyone!!! Two episodes inside a week? How unlike us!

Order 66 Chapters 10-14: Starring All Over the Place After a brief (and unintended) break, we've returned with the next set of chapters for ORDER 66. Anakin said that "this is where the fun begins," but I'm not feeling like things are actually going to be that fun. Also, we talked about Star Trek for the first 35 minutes. Sorry.

Order 66 Chapters 7-9: Big Oof Chapters 02/03/2023

Order 66 Chapters 4-6: Callista 02/02/2023

Order 66 Chapters 4-6: Callista Oof. This episode is late. Sorry about that. Just please do not blame Cole for my transgression. Anyway, I feel like I'm always writing that things are getting rough for our heroes in these books, but somehow things keep getting worse. This week's Article From the Archives: /episode/index/show/obroaskaiwalkers/id/25809108

Order 66 Prologue-Chapter 3: Justice for Tuvix HELLO 2023!!! I don't know what that is as far as Stardates go, but that's only somewhat relevant on this episode. Trekkie nonsense aside, we're picking back up with the Omegas in ORDER 66 by Karen Traviss! I don't know about you, but I'm not ready. This week's Article From the Archives: /episode/index/show/obroaskaiwalkers/id/25663512

OSW Interlude #23: 40-Year-Old Fanfic Surprise! We're back. Before we even thought we'd be, really. And we're all over the place! Hunting down weird out of place MIDI music, looking at a Star Wars fan zine from 40 years ago, a battle that MIGHT have something to do with Geroon, and way more Mandalorian season 3 speculation than I signed up for, personally. This week's Article From the Archives: /episode/index/show/obroaskaiwalkers/id/25395222

Path of Destruction Chapters 28-End: Sithual? 12/06/2022

Path of Destruction Chapters 28-End: Sithual? The end has finally come.

Path of Destruction Chapters 23-27: Weak-Minded Fools Ben finished Legacy of the Force: Bloodlines (spoilers end at about 46:30) and he is in PAIN. So naturally there is a lot of discussion about that since Andor talk happened on Skyhoppers this week. But then Darth Bane almost dies twice and sets his greater plans in motion (not necessarily in that order). This week's Article From the Archives: /episode/index/show/obroaskaiwalkers/id/25097121

Path of Destruction Chapters 13-17: All of the Star, None of the War 10/25/2022

Path of Destruction Chapters 13-17: All of the Star, None of the War In an effort to talk through some of our questions about Andor, we just end up with more questions. But we're only halfway through this season, so I'll allow it. We then discuss whether or not Bane is Big Stupid, how Githany is so stunningly beautiful that everyone forgets how to live, and another Zabrak with a double-bladed lightsaber that gets his ass handed to him. This week's Article From the Archives: /episode/index/show/obroaskaiwalkers/id/24794733

Path of Destruction Chapters 7-12: Flashbung 10/18/2022

Path of Destruction Chapters 7-12: Flashbung This week "Des" finally finds his way to the Sith Academy and, well... kills somebody. I don't think anyone is shocked. BUT.

Slave Ship Chapters 13-End: Chekov's Zuckuss To wrap up our coverage of SLAVE SHIP by K.W.
